Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals unless you arrange otherwise with the hosts.
  • Early check-out time — Check-out is between 05:00 and 10:00, requiring an early start on departure day.
  • Limited room types — The property appears to offer a single room category (Private Bathroom Double Room), which may not suit larger groups or those seeking suites.
  • Street-level noise potential — Despite soundproofed rooms, the central location near shops and a Metro stop could bring some street noise, though most reviews don't mention it.
